Museums are a place for learning: about history, the future, plants and animals, pretty much anything. InTwo Point Museum, one of the main statistics you’ll have to keep up with to have a successful museum is your guests' knowledge, as people who come in want to learn about all your exhibits.

If they aren’t learning, they aren’t going to be that happy and so your museum’s rating won’t be very high either. You’ll always start with a bit of knowledge about exhibits, but if you want to increase your knowledge and that of your guests, you’ll need to analyze what you find.
